    I have installed MS sql 2019 standard edition in our rhel 8 os.

    Maintanance plans are not supported by SQL Server on Linux, see Release notes for SQL Server 2019 on Linux => SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) => Maintenance plans aren't supported.

    Hi @Gowrab Das Dip

    On Linux Server, maintenance plans are not supported

    As an alternative, you can try to create your own SQL Server jobs to perform backups, index and statistics maintenance, you can check out this article: SQL Server on Linux: Running jobs with SQL Server Agent

    I want to schedule back-up (Every Day) my databases via ssms-18

    SSMS is just a tool/frontend.
    Use a Linux CRON job to schedule backup the databases:
